Dynasty Tulip

Tulipa x hybrida 'Dynasty'

The Story

Plant Bio

Tulipa x hybrida represents the vast group of hybrid garden tulips bred over centuries from wild progenitor species native to Central Asia and Southern Europe. These bulbous perennials are defined by their upright, unbranched stems, glaucous gray-green foliage, and large, cup-shaped spring flowers.

'Dynasty' is a Triumph-class cultivar distinguished by its luminous rose-pink petals that transition to a contrasting creamy ivory-white base. Its exceptionally sturdy stems provide excellent resistance to wind and rain, keeping the large blooms upright throughout mid-to-late spring.

Uses & Benefits:

Produces large, classic cup-shaped flowers with a luminous rose-pink and ivory-white coloration on exceptionally sturdy stems.

Serves as an excellent, long-lasting cut flower for spring floral arrangements due to its strong stems.

Provides an early-season pollen source for generalist insect pollinators emerging in mid-spring.

Planting

How to Grow

Select a planting site in fall that receives at least six hours of direct daily sunlight and has exceptionally well-drained soil.
Plant bulbs approximately six inches deep and four to six inches apart with the pointed ends facing upward.
Water the planting area thoroughly after burying the bulbs to settle the soil and stimulate root development before winter.
Apply a light layer of mulch over the soil surface to protect the bulbs from extreme temperature fluctuations and foraging rodents.

Pro Tip

Never cut back the green foliage immediately after flowering; leaving the leaves intact until they naturally yellow and die back is critical for recharging the bulb for next year's bloom.

Care Guide

Do

Deadhead spent flowers promptly by cutting the stem just below the bloom to prevent energy-wasting seed production.
Allow the foliage to turn completely yellow and wither naturally before removing it from the garden.
Ensure the soil drains rapidly, as standing water during the winter or summer dormancy will cause bulb rot.

Don't

Do not plant bulbs in heavy, unamended clay soils that retain excessive moisture.
Do not cut or tie up green leaves after the flowering period has ended.
Do not handle the bulbs or sap without gloves if you are prone to skin irritation or contact dermatitis.
